The resulting forces on the clevises for each of the 16 combinations is summarized in the following table:

Notes:
- The distribution of the steering force between the outside and the inside tires was estimated to be directly proportional to the distribution of normal force between the inside and outside tires.
- Both the full rebound and nominal position was considered to take into account the effect of suspension travel even thought the angle may not make sense in certain combinations (ex. braking, steering, outside whee, nominal position)

The "Summary" section of the above table shows the maximum radial and axial loading conditions for the clevises based on the 16 cases. Since the radial loading can either be in tension or compression. Two loading cases will be tested: maximum radial tension and maximum radial compression. Both these cases will also have the maximum axial force applied as well.
Case 1: Radial Tension
